Curasao, Netherland This former territory of the Netherlands has a long parade with plenty of live soca and calypso music. No need to stand along the curb on this one though: you can plan and pay in advance to actually join one of the carnival groups and have a costume waiting for them when they arrive.‎ ‎2. Nice, France The Nice Carnival entered the history books in 1294 when a prince was in attendance, but it likely goes back much further. The two-week event helps the folks - 24 -‎ ‎ on the French Riviera survive the colder days of winter.‎ ‎3. Venice, Italy Venice's Carnival has been around since 1268. There is something so classic, cool and magical about a 5-day carnival in this city of canals. Ifs all about the fine masks which were traditionally made of glass and decorated with feathers.‎ ‎4. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Who doesn't think Rio when they hear the word Carnival? It is the world's largest and perhaps the most extravagant. But this 7-day festival only dates back to 1723, a newcomer when compared to Europe. Beyond the formal parade there are also many local street celebrations.

We first wrote about her when she was 101. Is she still a track and field star?‎ At 103, Man Kaur is not only going strong. She's getting others to follow in her footsteps. India's oldest female athlete is spending her summer coaching 30 young athletes.‎ Kaur and her 81-year-old son and trainer, Gurdev Singh, were invited for two weeks to several universities in Baru Sahib in the mountains of India, but their methods made such an improvement in the students5 performance. They were asked to stay through September.‎ This invitation came on the heels of Kaur's taking part in the World Masters Athletics Championships in Poland earlier this year, where she won gold in all four events she competed in: shot put, javelin, 60-meter dash and 200-meter run.‎ Ten years after she first started running, Kaur still loves it, according to her son. She isn't thinking of retiring and Singh says she still thinks she can improve her performance.‎ ‎“She enjoys the company of her admirers," her son adds. "Every time she takes part, she feels proud that people around the world feel encouraged.95‎ ‎"The year has not been all fun and games, though. Kaur was in the hospital with - 24 -‎ ‎ gallstones （胆结石）this August and her osteoporosis （骨质疏松症）has been causing her back pain," says her son. "Still, she loves winning and is happiest on the track, where she says she forgets all her illness."‎ Next stop: Malaysia, where both mother and son will compete in their age brackets at the Asian Masters Athletics Championships in December.‎ ‎4. Why did Kaur begin running in her 90s?‎ A. She had a great sports dream. B. She followed her son's advice.‎ C. She wanted to get gold medals. D. She dreamed of acting as a coach.‎ ‎5.

Her forgetting all her diseases.‎ C. Her pride in encouraging others. D. The popularity from her admirers.‎ ‎7. From which section of a newspaper may this text appear?‎ A. Entertainment. B. Health.‎ C. Education. D. Sports.‎ ‎【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述印度年龄最大的女运动员曼考尔的故事。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。从文中第一段的第一句话“Man Kaur started running in 2009, when she was in her 90s ---- it was her son's idea”可知，Kaur 在2009年开始跑是他儿子的提议，她听从了她儿子的建议。故选B。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。从文中第三段的第一句话“but their methods made such an improvement in - 24 -‎ ‎ the students' performance.”可知，Kaur 的方法提升了学生们的表现，故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文中第五段和第六段的“Every time she takes part, she feels proud that people around the world feel encouraged.”可知，每次她参加赛跑，她都因能激励全世界人而自豪，因此推断，她能够鼓励别人的自豪让她没有放弃立即退出跑步。故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。纵观全文可知，文章全文都在讲述Man Kaur赛跑的故事，文末又提及她要参加在Malaysia举办的亚洲世界级大师运动锦标赛，所以应出自sports栏目，故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】在细节考查题中有一类事实细节题 。该题属于细节类型的阅读理解题，一般只针对某个特定的细节，题型可以多种多样。此类题型一般分两种。第一种是直接理解题，在原文中可以直接找到答案。第二种是词义转换题，正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的转换。做此类试题一定要抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、发展过程和结局等环节，所选答案一定要符合原文，切不可望文生义。本题第1小题，细节理解题。从文中第一段的第一句话“Man Kaur started running in 2009, when she was in her 90s ---- it was her son's idea”可知，Kaur 在2009年开始跑是他儿子的提议，她听从了她儿子的建议。故选B。‎ C The Giraffe Center in Nairobi is one of the oldest giraffe conservation organizations in the world. When it was founded in 1979, there were only 150 Rothschild's giraffes left in Kenya.‎ Stanley Kosgey, in charge of conservation education at the center, says the tallest animals in the world have never really gotten the same attention from conservationists and governments that other African mammals have. In some ways, he thinks, it's because they're hard to miss. In Kenya, it's not rare to see half a dozen of them as you drive past some fields on the highway. It can take you several safaris （旅行队）before you catch sight of a lion.‎ ‎“Giraffes are in what I would call a silent extinction," Kosgey says.‎ In a lot of ways, he says, a perfect storm has fallen on the species. Climate change means longer droughts and new diseases; civil unrest means giraffes become easy food; and as African countries grow, humans have encroached （入侵）on wildlife areas and the removal of trees becomes a huge problem. Giraffes are huge creatures,‎ - 24 -‎ ‎ and they require a lot of space and plants.‎ Kosgey says the good news is that the world has begun to pay attention. In Kenya, which has some of the best conservation policies on the continent, there is a plan underway to treat giraffes in the same way that lions, rhinos and elephants are treated. That's to put in place detailed action plans and programs to make sure those animals thrive. The first step for giraffes is to get a deeper understanding of their population by conducting a survey.‎ Kosgey says their conservation effort alone has saved the Rothschild's giraffe. There are now about 650 of them in Kenya. Worldwide, there are 1,671 Rothschild's, about 26 percent more than there were in the 1960s, according to the IUCN （International Union for Conservation of Nature）.‎ ‎“They are tall, graceful animals and they should be heard/5 Kosgey says.‎ ‎8. What can we learn about the giraffes from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. They run the fastest in the world.‎ B. They are in danger of extinction.‎ C. They are harder to see than lions in Kenya.‎ D. They draw conservationists' more attention.‎ ‎9. What does the writer want to tell us about giraffes in Paragraph 4?‎ A. It is hard for them to survive. B. A terrible storm attacks them.‎ C. They live where humans live. D. Removing trees leaves them space.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word "thrive" mean in Paragraph 5?‎ A. become healthy B. hang out C. move away D. grow strong ‎11. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Protecting the Earth. B. Living with Animals.‎ C. Saving the Giraffes. D. Loving Peaceful Nature.‎ ‎【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。非洲长颈鹿处于灭绝的边缘。文章主要讲述对长颈鹿的保护。‎ - 24 -‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文中第一段最后一句话“there were only 150 Rothschild's giraffes left in Kenya.（肯尼亚只剩下150只罗斯柴尔德的长颈鹿）”和第二段的第二句话“In some ways, he thinks, it's because they're hard to miss.（在某些方面，他认为，这是因为他们很难逃脱。）”可推断，长颈鹿濒临灭绝的边缘，故选B。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文中第四段的第一句话“In a lot of ways, he says, a perfect storm has fallen on the species（他说，在很多方面，一个完美的风暴已经降临到了物种身上 。）”可知，长颈鹿在经历灾难，所以它们很难生存，故选A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。从文中第五段的“there is a plan underway to treat giraffes in the same way that lions, rhinos and elephants are treated.（有一个计划正在进行中，以同样的方式对待长颈鹿，狮子，犀牛和大象。）”可知，长颈鹿与其它狮子，犀牛和大象一起都在即将实施的保护计划内，所以可推出后句中的单词意思为“蓬勃发展”，故选D。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。全文作者都在讲述要保护长颈鹿，文末作者还引用了Kosgey的话，再次强调要保护长颈鹿，故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude, indicate等标志性词语。本题第1小题，推理判断题。从文中第一段最后一句话“there were only 150 Rothschild's giraffes left in Kenya.（肯尼亚只剩下150只罗斯柴尔德的长颈鹿）”和第二段的第二句话“In some ways, he thinks, it's because they're hard to miss.（在某些方面，他认为，这是因为他们很难逃脱。）”可推断，长颈鹿濒临灭绝的边缘，故选B。‎ D It takes a certain quickness to pick a strawberry or a salad. While crops （农作物）like wheat and potatoes have been harvested by machine for decades, many fruits and vegetables have proved resistant （有抵抗的）to automation. They are too easily - 24 -‎ ‎ damaged, or too hard for heavy farm machinery to locate.‎ But recently, technological developments and advances in machine learning have led to successful trying of more sensitive and skillful robots, which use cameras and artificial intelligence （Al） to locate ripe fruit and handle it carefully and exactly.‎ Developed by engineers at the University of Cambridge, the Vegebot is the first robot that can identify and harvest iceberg lettuce - bringing hope to farmers that one of the most demanding crops for human pickers could finally be automated.‎ First, a camera scans （扫描）the lettuce and, with the help of a machine learning calculation trained on more than a thousand lettuce images, decides if it is ready for harvest. Then a second camera guides the picking cage on top of the plant without breaking it. Sensors feel when it is in the right position, and pressed air drives a blade through the stalk （柄）at a high force to get a clean cut.‎ Its success rate is high, with 91% of the crop accurately classified, according to a study published in July. But the robot is still much slower than humans, taking 31 seconds on average to pick one lettuce. Researchers say this could easily be sped up by using lighter materials.‎ Such adjustments would need to be made if the robot was used commercially （商业地）. "Our goal was to prove you can do it, and we've done it,” Simon Birrell, co-author of the study, tells CNN Business. "Now it depends on somebody taking the baton （指挥棒）and running forward," he says.‎ ‎12. Why does the writer mention strawberry and salad in the first paragraph?‎ A. To attract readers' attention to the fruits.‎ B. To show the fast speed of picking fruits.‎ C. To indicate a lot of crops can be easily damaged.‎ D. To suggest machines can't handle soft fruits easily.‎ ‎13. What do we know about the Vegebot?‎ A. It uses machine learning calculation to harvest.‎ B. It is demanded by human pickers.‎ C. It can be sped up by using heavier materials.‎ - 24 -‎ D. It performs faster than human pickers.‎ ‎14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The working of the camera's scanning the lettuce.‎ B. The process of the Vegebot's harvesting the lettuce.‎ C. The reason for the camera's guiding the picking cage.‎ D. The result of sensors' cutting the stalk at a high force.‎ ‎15. What can we infer from Simon's words?‎ A. He will enable the robot to run forward.‎ B. He has already commercialized the Vegebot.‎ C. He needs a pioneer to use the Vegebot first.‎ D He wants to prove human pickers are losers.‎ ‎【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。最近技术的发展和机器学习的进步导致了更敏感和熟练的机器人的成功尝试，它们使用相机和人工智能(Al)来定位成熟的水果并仔细和准确地处理它。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文中第一段的第二句话“many fruits and vegetables have proved resistant to automation”可知，strawberry and salad是不容易被机器采摘的，因此推断提到草莓和沙拉是为了表明机器不能轻易处理软水果。故选D。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文中第二段提到的“But recently, technological developments and advances in machine learning have led to successful trials of more sensitive and skillful robots（但是最近，技术的发展和机器学习的进步导致了更敏感和更熟练的机器人的成功试验）” 和第三段“the Vegebot is the first robot that can identify and harvest iceberg lettuce（Vegebot是第一个能够识别和收获冰山生菜的机器人）”可推断，机器人Vegebot 是采用机器学习计算来采摘的，故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ - 24 -‎ 主旨大意题。从整个第四段以及First，Then，可知，本段主要陈述Vegebot是如何工作的，从而推断，本段是讲的Vegebot收割莴苣的过程，故选B。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。从文章的最后一段的最后一句话““Now it depends on somebody taking the baton (指挥棒) and running forward, ” he says.”可知，现在，这取决于有人拿着指挥棒向前跑。因此推断他认为需要一个先驱者先使用vegebot。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】每篇文章都会有一个主旨大意。每一段都有段落大意。此题型要求考生在理解的基础上归纳要点，概括中心思想。考生需要分析篇章结构，找出主题句，抓住主线和关键词语，归纳中心。但不是所有的文章或段落都有主题句，阅读时就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析，概括出段落的主题。主旨大意题。例如第3小题，考查段落大意，从整个第四段以及First，Then，可知，本段主要陈述Vegebot是如何工作的，从而推断，本段是讲的Vegebot收割莴苣的过程，故选B。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。‎ Landing a new job can be a difficult process, and it's thrilling when you finally get an offer. ___16___ Still, it can be difficult to figure out how to refuse a job offer that you've ultimately decided isn't a fit.‎ Pick up the phone We've become so used to doing everything digitally, without speaking to someone else or -gasp! —meeting face-to-face. ___17___ Particularly if you've built a good relationship with the hiring manager, it's not only a kind gesture but also better manner than turning down the job over e-mail.‎ ‎___18___‎ The world is smaller than you think, particularly when operating within any given professional field.
